Pull over on the interstate at one of those weigh stations?

I say find a medical scale, like the ones they have in hospitals or even in a highschool locker room. They are everywhere.

just nonchalantly bring the box into a petsmart.

WTF are you talking about. Scales are only for weighing people. Duh thought you already knew.

but if you stand on the scale with the box strapped to your back and then stand on the scale to weigh yourself, then you subtract the 1st weigh in with the 2nd weigh in and bam, you have your box weight.

take the volume of all the boards used in your box, multiply by the density of mdf which is 800 kg/m³. voila...

can also add in mass of screws, glue, caulking, and subtract speaker cutout.

would the wieght of the enclosure really matter?

the car is probably 2500+ lb.

the box with the subs in them i am guessing is about 70 lb.

70/2500= less than .03% of the weight of the total car.

Depends on what kind of box we're talking about //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But he is a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicer.

Ricers remind me of anorexic people.

Anorexics gain too much weight, they gotta puke to lose it

Ricers gain too much weight in their car, they gotta take out the Fast and Furious floor mats
